Men of worth celebrated
Seventeen men were recently recognized by the men's group at Golden Gates World Outreach Ministries for going above and beyond to create a positive influence in their communities.
Albert H. Hepburn, Allen Strachan, Alpheus Finlayson, Anthony Archer, Arthur Brown, Godfrey Eneas, Harry Davis, James C. Smith, Kervin Morley, Leviticus Patton, Nehemiah Hield, Neville Wisdom, Norman Beneby, Paul Rolle, Solomon Cash, Steve McKinney and Vernon Symonette were honored for not only being upstanding fathers, but community leaders and nation builders. The men were said to exemplify the model that today's youth should emulate.
"Being a father is more than contributing to the genetic make-up of a child. Being a father is a commitment not only to your responsibility to care for the child, but for the entire future generations of this country," said Samuel Smith, president of the men's association.
All of the honorees were chosen by the men's association selection committee based on their family-mindedness, social responsibility and actions in positively influencing the youth of the community.
Golden Gates World Outreach Ministries Senior Pastor Bishop Ros Davis said he was proud of the honorees and was proud to host the event to uplift men rather than bring them down.
He said events where great men of society are being recognized should serve as a reminder for the many other males in society who are falling short of their duties, that there is still hope for them. Bishop Davis anticipated that if men take heed that they can learn to live up to what God has planned for their lives.

Dead girl's injuries consistent with child abuse, doctor says
A toddler died two months after a social worker placed her in a "safe" home, a Supreme Court jury heard yesterday.
Three-year-old Jennifer Pinder died from injuries associated with child abuse on February 25, 2007 while in the care of Troy Sweeting and Rosetta Cruz-Sweeting, her aunt, prosecutors say.
Social worker Monique McKenzie told the jury that the Sweetings "appeared to be upright citizens of good character" from her investigations.
McKenzie authorized the child's release from the Nazareth Center into the family's care during the week of December 13, 2006, the court heard.
McKenzie said she did not follow up on the child's welfare after she was placed with the Sweeting family.
Pediatrician Dr. Percival McNeil first came into contact with Pinder on February 21, 2007 in the Accident and Emergency section of Princess Margaret Hospital.
McNeil said the child had multiple injuries about the body, which in his opinion were not accidental. He said her injuries were consistent with child abuse.
He said, "These injuries were not accidental, so they were inflicted."
McNeil said the medical team felt that Pinder had a "slim chance of survival".
The prognosis was correct and Pinder died at 1:44 a.m. on February 25 after suffering from four cardiac arrests.
Doctors were able to restore Pinder's heartbeat after the first three arrests but their resuscitation attempts failed after her heart stopped a fourth time.
Cruz-Sweeting is no longer charged with Pinder's murder.
The case against her husband continues before Justice Roy Jones.
Anthony Delaney and Charles Newbold are the prosecutors. Raymond Rolle appears for Sweeting.
JIG to open with old school party
For the past nine years, the second weekend in March has been cemented as the must attend event known as Jazz in the Gardens, and no other activity can get in the way. This year the popular weekend of music has been extended to encompass a third day with the addition of a Friday Night Opening Party -- and they're going old school with Dazz Band and the S.O.S. Band.The Dazz Band, the American funk music band that was most popular in the early 1980s for its hit songs like the Grammy Award-winning "Let It Whip", "Joystick", "Let It All Blow" and "You Are My Starship", along with the S.O.S. Band, an American R&B and electro-funk group that also gained fame in the 1980s and is best known for its songs "Take Your Time", "Just Be Good to Me", "Tell Me If You Still Care", and "The Finest", will take you back in time and warm you up for Saturday and Sunday.The funky addition to the Jazz in the Gardens weekend, the Friday night opening party, takes place at Calder Casino & Race Course located at 21001 NW 27th Ave., Miami, Florida, with the party kicking off at 9 p.m. At least 1,500 people can be accommodated at the party, for which tickets are already selling like hotcakes. Advance tickets can be purchased for $45 at jazzinthegardens.frontgatetickets.com.When the disco ball stops spinning and the party is over, LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Trey Songz, Kelly Rowland, Mint Condition, Anthony Hamilton, Stanley Clarke, Rachelle Farrell and Boney James will take to the stage over the weekend at Sun Life Stadium.As has been the case for the past five years, The Guardian Group of Companies will be giving Bahamians opportunities to attend the concert, giving away four complete packages that will allow eight people to enjoy the 9th Annual Jazz in the Gardens on The Guardian Group of companies, free of charge, by entering the various promotions offered in The Nassau Guardian and on radio stations Star 106.5 FM, and Hot 91.7 FM.Two people will win complete packages for two on Star 106.5 FM inclusive of airfare on Bahamasair, accommodations at Staybridge Suites Plantation or Comfort Suites Sawgrass, car rental with Dollar/Thrifty and concert tickets for both nights. And winning is as simple as listening to Star 106.5 FM and calling in to register for the promotion when you hear a song by one of the artists on the lineup for Jazz in the Gardens being played. You can also sign up at Star's Facebook page using the sign up form that can be emailed in to Star to be registered.One complete package for two can also be won through The Nassau Guardian. It's as simple as filling in the entry form in the newspaper, clipping it out and dropping it off at the Carter Street, Oakes Field office of the newspaper. One person will win roundtrip tickets on Bahamasair for two, accommodations at Staybridge Suites Plantation or Comfort Suites Sawgrass, car rental with Dollar/Thrifty and concert tickets for both nights.Another complete package for two can also be won through Hot 91.7 with Ibiza nightclub -- roundtrip tickets on Bahamasair for two, accommodations at Staybridge Suites Plantation or Comfort Suites Sawgrass, car rental with Dollar/Thrifty and concert tickets for both nights. Sign up for a chance at winning the fabulous prize will take place every Thursday during the Hot live remote from Ibiza, and up until March 6 folks can sign up for the chance to win during the Hot live remote.All of the winners will be announced on March 7, one week before the most anticipated weekend of the month.As The Guardian Group of Companies could not give out as many prize packages as they would like and knowing that Bahamians will be traveling to South Florida en masse anyway to enjoy the weekend, an opportunity is being afforded to people who purchase Bahamasair tickets (with a special starting rate of $291.90 inclusive of taxes) for that weekend to win concert tickets. With the purchase of a Bahamasair ticket for that weekend, they will automatically be entered into a drawing for concert tickets. And they can listen in to The Guardian Group of Companies radio stations for pop-up opportunities to win concert tickets as well.Star 106.5 FM and Hot 91.7 programming director Tony Williams said with eight people being able to enjoy the Jazz in the Gardens weekend with all expenses paid on The Guardian Group of Companies that this would be the most complete packages given away in its six-year history with the Jazz in the Gardens festival.He described this year's line-up as a good mix that will cater across the generations. Williams himself is most interested in seeing what LL Cool J brings to the stage. He's also excited about the Funky Friday Night Opening Party that will add a new flavor to the event."The Funky Friday Night Opening Party is something different, especially for the old school folks who may not know too much about the new artists, and for those people who may be going over to Florida early, so they will have something to do," said Williams. Star 106.5 FM has already given away tickets to this new feature.Williams is also eager to see Jamie Foxx, Kelly Rowland and Mint Condition."Jamie Foxx can be considered old school as well as new school, and he's a comedian, so I think you're going to get a good show out of Jamie Foxx, so I'm looking forward to seeing him as well as Kelly Rowland who I've never seen before, but she's got quite a body of work including Dirty Laundry and Kisses Down Low which were very big for her, plus she had songs before that, including some gospel songs, so I think people will enjoy her. Then there's Mint Condition who I've never seen, but I know their music," said Williams.Bahamasair's senior manager for international sales, Woody Wilson said the company was pleased to partner with The Guardian Group of Companies for the sixth consecutive year to promote the 9th Annual Jazz in the Gardens."Over the years we've enjoyed this partnership and look forward to the years to come as long as there's a Jazz in the Gardens festival to go to, to ensure that Bahamians can attend and enjoy Jazz in the Gardens," said Wilson.The international sales manager said it's become so popular for Bahamians to fly into Miami and Fort Lauderdale for the Jazz in the Gardens weekend that Bahamasair has increased its seat load into the destinations to accommodate the crowd. They are looking to add an extra flight going out on the Friday and returning on the Monday.What: 9th Annual Jazz in the GardensWhen: March 14, 15 and 16Where: Sun Life Stadium, 2269 Dan Marino Blvd., Miami Gardens, FloridaPerforming artists line upSaturday, March 15 (Gates open at 3 p.m.) -- Line-up is subject to change.

Noah is a perplexing, yet intriguing film
Noah (Rated B)
Cast: Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson
Genre: Biblical Drama
Dwight's Rating: 3 stars out of 4
An epic battle between good and evil, with a large floating vessel, and mysterious, giant talking creatures with incredible strength and seemingly magical powers. Expect all that and more in the new film "Noah"!
Confused? Well, yes, this "Noah" is indeed about that Noah, of the Book of Genesis fame -- grandson of Methuselah, who begat Lamech, who then begat said Noah. The same one who saved all of Earth's creatures by loading them two-by-two on his ark to wait out the great flood that came to wash away the evil in mankind and all the sins of the world.
For the most part, that's largely where the similarities end between the story you know from the Bible and this movie. And as a result, we are left with a perplexing and yet intriguing film.
As you can surmise, there are things going on here that you're unlikely to find in any account of Genesis you'll ever come across. It is an often wild interpretation, taking what is already one of the most fantastic stories in the Bible to even higher heights of incredulity.
I criticized "Son of God" for sticking far too closely and cautiously -- and ultimately, boringly -- to the Gospel accounts of Jesus. "Noah" is the complete opposite. And while some of the choices are questionable, I do applaud director Darren Aronofsky (2010's "Black Swan"), who co-wrote the script along with Ari Handel, for taking chances with a very bold and unique story.
So, unlike with "Son of God", you might want to rethink taking the Bible study group or Sunday School class to see this one, as someone is going to have a lot of explaining to do. But if you are willing to accept the embellishments, you'll likely find this an incredibly entertaining tale.
The CGI work is absolutely breathtaking and astonishing, and it establishes itself as a technical masterwork.
Russell Crowe, as Noah, delivers a strong performance. I've always imagined that those sinful people watching Noah build his ark must have thought him mad. In "Noah", there's apparently no question about it. Here, he is a certifiable nut job. But Crowe plays him with such depth, that we can clearly understand that it's the weight of the world -- the enormous burden that has been placed on him -- that is driving him to the edge. That, and some of the human members on the ark, who are really trying his patience.
Anthony Hopkins also has a small role, and is always a pleasure to watch. Emma Watson, too, gives a worthy performance. But it does feel familiar, as she's once again in a film with tones of "Lord of the Rings", to which the "Harry Potter" series she's best know for have often been compared.
This year is shaping up to be "The Year of the Bible" for Hollywood. In addition to "Son of God" and "Noah", there are a number of other biblically-themed movies due out, including "Mary, Mother of Christ", and "Exodus" about Moses.
One wonders on which side of the divide these films will fall -- the grounded-in-Biblical-"reality"-side with "Son of God", or the extreme-fantasy-side with "Noah." As both movies have had success at the box office, this doesn't seem to matter to audiences. But so far, we can score one in favor of extreme-fantasy as the more exciting and interesting way to make a Bible movie.

Franklyn Wilson elected FOCOL chairman
Businessman Franklyn Wilson has been elected chairman of FOCOL Holdings Limited (FOCOL) and reappointed director - a post he has held for 31 years.
Wilson succeeds Sir Albert Miller, who has served as chairman since 1988.
During FOCOL's annual general meeting, which was held in Grand Bahama on Wednesday, March 26, Wilson thanked his predecessor for his vision and friendship.
He said whether as president or as chairman, Sir Albert's tenure as the most senior officer of FOCOL from 1988 to 2014 was "impactful by any reasonable measure."
He noted that it was under Albert's leadership that the company was prepared and subsequently publicly listed on BISX.
FOCOL acquired most of Shell's assets in The Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos and acquired Shell's aviation business in The Bahamas.
Today, the company maintains a strong balance sheet and according to Wilson, can "buttress unforeseen challenges and facilitate the exploitation of new opportunities."
"So, I say to my friend, Sir Albert, well done. Thank you especially for a partnership of over 30 years, for the friendship which has flowed therefrom; for the absence of arguments and yes, for the increasing profits you helped to engineer," Wilson said.
"Sir Albert's tenure as chairman and our vision for the future would each be better understood when placed in a proper historical context. Thus, on this august occasion, it would be appropriate to do a little looking back, before we look forward. We are better when we recognise that greatness often has roots which extend beyond ourselves."
Sir Albert, who said he was one of the "midwives" at FOCOL'S birth, noted that the time has come for him to pass the baton.
He said it was also a privilege to be in a place to assist a group of visionary young Bahamians achieve a great dream.
"No one likes closing books, especially when the story has been a thrilling one. However, I leave with the knowledge that I stayed a course that was sometimes very rough, but I completed the journey with honor and I have had the good fortune of seeing the ship reach favorable waters to speed its progress," he said.
"An examination of my life history will show that I have never believed in standing in the same spot forever, just because I believed it to be safe. For me, the emphasis has always been on moving forward, getting the job done and getting it done well. That is the signal for moving on again."
The outgoing chairman applauded Wilson - who is also the chairman of Sunshine Holdings and Arawak Homes Ltd. - for transforming a Bahamian startup that was "ridiculed by pundits of the day" into a blue chip company that has more capitalization than some local banks.
He said he is leaving the chairmanship of FOCOL in "the best hands."
"Frankie Wilson is something of a phenomenon. I believe him to be one of the most brilliant men to be born in our Bahamas. He has polished this great divine gift with a high-quality education and an ongoing commitment to learning. His work ethic is like few I have ever met before. He counts not the time but the importance of the task in the seemingly endless number of hours he is willing to commit. Better still, he knows the value of a dollar and what it takes to possess it and keep it.
"Still better, he knows the value of good partners and good employees and has the skill and personality to show deep appreciation for their contributions. Yes, I'm leaving the chairmanship of FOCOL in the best of hands. I trust him to hold the crew together and steer the FOCOL ship to ever brighter horizons for the good of the company, its staff and shareholders and for the good of all the Bahamian people and our country. I ask you all to give him the support and encouragement you have given me."
Sir Albert noted that buying Shell Bahamas took FOCOL into "the big leagues" of international business, dealing in direct partnership with the likes of Chevron Texaco and Esso Standard Oil.
He also congratulated Sun Oil President and CEO Anthony Robinson whom he says put in place the organization of FOCOL as it is known today.
"I say without fear of contradiction that Mr. Robinson has caused us to be tremendously successful. Not only is he a hard worker, but he brought us valuable knowledge of a business of which few Bahamians had little knowledge at the managerial level," he said.
"Mr. Robinson and team, you set a high mark for other Bahamians to reach. You make yourselves and all of FOCOL look good in a field where only the brightest and best fly high. Thank you for your splendid services."
Sir Albert also gave some parting words for young Bahamians hoping to emulate FOCOL's achievements.
"I must point out that success does not come with wishing for it. Success is a factor of foresight, joining hands with people who are like-minded and willing to work as hard as you do to make good. Success requires building and sustaining credibility. Success is a factor of picking the right team," he said.
A critical look at the 26th BAAA National High School Track and Field Championships, part 2
When we last spoke about new national high school championships records, we forgot to note that Moore's Island Steven Gardiner's 20.68 seconds in the 200 meters (m) was not only a championships record, but a new Bahamian national junior record, breaking that of Stephen Newbold done last May. Newbold ran 20.76 seconds. Congratulations goes out to Gardiner, his coach, Pastor Anthony Williams and the entire Moore's Island community.
Today, we speak about the other great performances of athletes at the meet, and note some schools in the competition. We cannot help but notice the performance of Queen College's (QC) Gareth Lewis in the 100m and 200m. Young Lewis won both sprints in the under-14 boys division. He captured the 100m in 12.09 seconds, and the 200m in 24.90 seconds. Lewis happens to be the son of Gareth and Toni Lewis, and the grandson of Walter Callender, who participated in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
He won both events comfortably as his challenger in the 100m, Kyle Bullard of St. John's College, ran 12.76 seconds, and Benjamin Clarke of St Augustine's College (SAC) clocked 25.81 seconds in the 200m.
Callender, deceased, was not the only former sprinter to have progeny participate. Bahamian 100m national record holder Renward Wells did as well. In the under-16 boys 400m, QC's Branson Rolle clocked 52.05 seconds and his challenger Lavardo Henfield of S.C. McPherson ran 53.12 seconds.
St. Augustine's Donniesha Anderson, who is considered one of our bright future stars, was upset in the 400m by Nicole Callis of St. Anne's School, 57.36 seconds to Anderson's 57.39 seconds. This is good news for the sport. Competition is always good.
In the under-16 girls 400m, QC's Brittni Fountain won in 57.41 seconds, far ahead of her teammate, Antonia Strachan's 59.03 seconds. Fountain is in the league of the under-18 girls. Those performances however were better than the under-20 girls, as Dreshanae Rolle of St. Augustine's ran 57.13 seconds.
Anderson was good in the high jump, with a best leap of 1.65m (5' 5") compared to Celine Thompson of QC's 1.63m (5' 4"). She also captured the 200m.
Another multi-talented sprinter is SAC's Kieanna Albury, who won the 100m in 11.82 seconds, to Jenae Ambrose's 11.96 seconds. Ambrose attends Queen's College. In the 200m, Albury clocked 23.81 seconds to Ambrose's 24.11 seconds. The multi-talented athlete was also able to jump 5.60m (18' 4-1/2") in the long jump.
Another rising star is C.C. Sweeting's Ken Mullings. He won the under-18 boys high jump with a clearance of two meters flat (6' 6-3/4") and the long jump with a leap of 6.92m (22' 8-1/2"). QC's Tamar Greene, also in this division, jumped 15m (49' 2-3/4") in the triple jump with a 3.3mps wind reading. Second place finisher Dovante Arthur, of Central Abaco, followed in 13.91m (45' 7-3/4").
SAC vs. QC
In the perennial battle between powerhouses the St. Augustine's College (SAC) Big Red Machine and the Queen's College Comets, QC captured four of the divisions and St. Augustine's captured three. When we combined the scores in the divisions however, SAC ruled supreme with 1,091 points compared to QC's 950 points.
Some other schools
In the New Providence government schools, C.V. Bethel had defeated C.R. Walker a week prior. In the nationals, C.R. Walker captured the under-20 boys' division with 137 points. They finished third in the under-20 girls with 121 points and dropped to 22nd in the under-18 boys' division with six and a half points.
C.V. Bethel finished third in both the under-18 and under-20 boys' divisions, with 54 and 96 points respectively. In the under-18 and under-20 girls, they scored 72 and 89 points respectively. Where was Government High School (GHS)? They finished seventh in the under-20 girls with 10 points, 12th in the under-18 girls with 10 points, and 10th in the under-18 boys with 32 points.
Tabernacle out of Grand Bahama was predicted to mount a challenge, and challenge they did, finishing third in both the under-18 girls and boys with 94 and 102 points respectively. Tabernacle finished seventh in the under-14 boys with 25 points and 13th in the under-20 boys with 18 points.
Moore's Island's top divisional performance was sixth in the under-20 boys with 44 points. They were also 15th in the under-16 boys with five points, 21st in the under-16 girls with two points, and 23rd in the under-18 boys with six points.
Andros, oh my Andros
Andros, as usual, was well represented in the championships. North Andros had their best performances with fourth in both the under-14 girls and under-16 boys with 49 and 74 points respectively. They finished sixth in the under-16 girls with 33 points and 12th in both the under-20 boys and under-18 girls, with 20 and 10 points respectively.
Central Andros was fourth in the under-14 boys with 38 points, and fifth in the under-16 boys' division with 39 points. They were also ninth in the under-18 boys with 33.5 points and 16th in the under-20 boys and under-18 girls with 10 and 6 points respectively.
Mangrove Cay finished 12th in the under-20 girls with three points and 22nd in the under-16 boys with two points. Finally, South Andros finished seventh in the under-20 girls and 14th in the under-18 boys with 10 and 14 points respectively.
We can speak about the performance of every school participating but we have decided that in our analysis of the championships, we would deal with just a few. It is interesting which schools did not send teams or which did not win points. We have not seen Bimini for quite some time nor has S.C. Bootle or Cooper's Town, but were encouraged by the participation of the RN Gomez School of the Berry Islands.
Greater effort needs to be made to have schools from every island participate. We give kudos to all those schools which participated.
The Bahamas Association of Certified Officials (BACO) had its usual set of challenges in this meet. The writer cannot comprehend though, the absence of indicator boards which makes the meet more fan friendly. Fans should not have to hear the field events officials call out the performances.
At the same time, it is ever so important to have the wind reading for the long and triple jumps and the 100m, 200m, and short hurdles. It is embarrassing to read NWI "no wind indicated" behind a performance. What would have happened if Gardiner's 200m had NWI behind it? It simply could not be considered a "national junior record"!
This is a national meet and we can appreciate the challenge of officials being busy nearly every weekend, but the leadership needs to continually recruit new officials.
The sound and light
The stadium's first competition was held in April of 1966. It is disappointing that sound and light continue to be issues the officials have to work with. Those fans in the VIP stand were unable to hear announcements, especially during the awards ceremonies. The lighting continues to be an issue time after time. We are aware of the effort done by the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, and now the National Sports Authority, which is also responsible for the old stadium, but in times of national events, more attention needs to be paid.
The fans
We thank the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for letting students attend the Friday sessions for which the entrance fee was a nominal $1. We encourage them to be required to attend in their uniforms. It adds to and encourages school pride, which is so necessary today.
School alumni need to be continually encouraged to attend. This should be done by each school. The number of fans needs to be increased! This can be done through the public and private principals associations. Additionally, each year several standout athletes from former championships as well as officials or coaches can be honored. This is not "rocket science"!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thanks to each and every one of you. With all of the above said, it is important to give thanks where it is due. We have to give thanks to the organizers, the officials, the sponsors, especially Scotiabank Bahamas Ltd., the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF), and those fans who showed up.
We encourage everybody to turn up this weekend for the CARIFTA Trials when we believe that the performances will be more exciting and the times and marks better. Anybody wants to witness a national junior record? Come out this weekend!
Man convicted of 5 armed robbery
A man arrested moments after a $5 armed robbery has been convicted.
A jury unanimously convicted Balmont Thompson of the 2012 hold-up after deliberating just over two hours.
According to the evidence, Thompson and two other men accosted three women as they were leaving the One Family Junkanoo Practice on Market Street.
Thompson took a Dooney and Bourke purse that contained $5 from one of the women, whom he had dashed to the ground.
The woman later saw Thompson walking with her purse. According to the evidence, the woman clipped Thompson with her car and he fired two shots, which struck the car's bumper.
Officers on patrol in the area heard the gunshots and arrested Thompson a short time later in Hospital Lane.
Thompson denied the allegations at his trial.
Justice Carolita Bethell will sentence him on May 29 at 2 p.m.
Anthony Delaney, Anishka Hanchell and Cordell Frazier prosecuted.
Gregory Hilton appeared for Thompson.
Defense force chief says bodies found on cay
Four bodies were found on Anguilla Cay in the Cay Sal Bank near the coast of Cuba about a week ago, Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) Commodore Roderick Bowe said yesterday; however a senior police official said police had not seen the bodies.
Bowe said the bodies were badly decomposed.
"I don't want to speculate, but from the pictures that we got they would have been there for a while," he said.
"Because it may be a crime scene and we are not trained to investigate in that fashion, it has been handed over to the police.
"That's a matter that the commissioner [of police] and I spoke about. He would rather his people go in and deal with it."
The Guardian first reported that police were investigating reports of dead bodies on the cay on March 21.
At the time, Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said he sent a team to the area to investigate and had no further details.
Ferguson told The Guardian yesterday that the officers reported that they did not find anything on the cay.
"We continue to probe the information," he said.
"We are still trying to determine the exact location."
When asked about Bowe's comments, Ferguson said he could not speak conclusively on the RBDF's information.
Bahamas to host Top 50 camp
The Bahamas Basketball Federation (BBF) and Bahamas Global Sports Foundation will host a media conference on April 14 to announce the names of the 50 best high school players in the country and also the Bahamas Top 50 Basketball Camp. The camp will take place during the Bahamas International Coaches Clinic on July 23-6 in New Providence.

The camp will also feature several elite athletes who have traveled abroad to the United States including the number one ranked freshmen in the United States, 6'10" DeAndre Ayton of Nassau, Bahamas who currently attends Balboa City High School in San Diego, California.
Colorado State University coaches Larry Eustachy and Steve Barnes coach the Bahamas National Team.
"Creating the ranking system will allow us to identify future members of the national team and support their ongoing success," said Barnes.
NBA Hall of Fame player Alex English, and Carmelo Anthony's high school coach, Mike Daniel, will lead the Bahamas Top 50 Camp. Daniel currently coaches at New Town High School in Owings Mills, Maryland.
The athletes invited will participate in three days of drills, training and games during the camp. The NCAA certification application is pending approval for the Bahamas Basketball Federation as its supporters is confirming participation of Division 1 coaches and scouts.
Athletes will receive a notification this week of their recognition and an invitation to the Top 50 Camp.
A press conference will be held in the Bahamas on April 14 to announce the Top 50 and the upcoming program. The camp will take place at the Kendal G. L. Isaacs National Gymnasium.

The last few days have been like Christmas around here..
Monday, my long awaited Cochise Defender arrived from K&D Holsters!
I haven't really had a chance to wear it out of the house yet (still waiting for the Sheriff's office to finish my paperwork.. 85 days and counting!)
The workmanship is amazing... fits my G23 like a glove... And because, we all know a holster thread is worthless without pics:
Very thin...
And while I can't make the Wally World voyage just yet.. I did give it a try around the house..very comfortable.. still trying different cant angles/carry positions..but I thoroughly enjoy this holster already.. Kevin does amazing work..
and on this past Friday, the range bag and magazines I ordered from Midway arrived... its been said before, and I'll repeat it.. those Midway bags are HUGE, and for the $30.00 sale price.. you can't beat it.. Be careful though.. mine came preloaded:

International payment methods for Pakistan: SWIFT wire transfer
June 2nd, 2011Sending money abroad and receiving payments from foreign companies or individuals is surprisingly difficult in Pakistan. There are many factors that come into play including the cost of the payment method, time it takes to transfer the amount and acceptability of the payment method to the foreign party. In this post I look at SWIFT wire transfer and discuss its advantages and disadvantages.
SWIFT Wire transfer
SWIFT is an encrypted messaging standard used to transmit wire transfer instructions by banks around the world. Using the SWIFT system you can transfer money to almost any country on the planet.
Receiving Wire transfers: I have previously blogged about receiving wire transfer payments in Pakistan. Receiving SWIFT wire transfer is easy as it only requires a bank account. Even a rupee account will suffice.
Sending wire transfers: Sending a wire transfer is a whole different story. You need a foreign currency account to be able to send a wire in your own name. Some foreign exchange companies can wire money on your behalf but then the money is sent in their name and that is often unacceptable to foreign companies.
Cost of Wire transfer: In terms of cost, wire transfer is quite expensive. There are sender's bank fees, correspondent bank fees and recipient bank fees. Sending a wire transfer costs between $15 and $25 in Pakistan. Outside Pakistan that amount can be much higher. Around $50 in the US for instance.
In Pakistan banks generally don't charge any fees for receiving wire transfers. However, they do make money off the currency conversion. US and European banks do charge customers to receive an International wire.
The hidden cost is often the correspondent bank fees. These banks help route the money to its destination and they can charge arbitrary fees without the sender or receiver knowing or consenting to it. In the past I have lost as much as $65 to correspondent banks.
As a result of all these bank fees it is impossible to say exactly how much the recipient will get in a SWIFT wire transfer transaction. IMO this is the biggest disadvantage of wire transfers.
Wire transfers are only recommended for transactions of at least $1,000. The bank fees involved make smaller transactions impractical.
Speed of wire transfer: SWIFT wire transfers take between 1-4 days to be credited to the recipient's account. So wire transfers are a very fast payment method.
Security of wire transfers: Wire transfers are also a very safe payment method. Both the sender and receiver must have a bank account at a legitimate financial institution. The SWIFT messaging system uses cryptography to transmit wire instructions between banks. Wire transfers are also not reversible without the recipient's explicit authorisation. So there is no risk of chargeback or payment reversal as in the case of credit cards.

I want to ask:
I want to transfer a sum of 200USD to a forex broker account in Australia. Is the forex broker account considered as a company and by having a foreign currency individual account here in Pakistan will I be able to transfer that money to the broker or no?
My question is in other words how can I transfer money to a forex broker abroad [Australia] in USD from Pakistan with a bank account in my name and which bank does it with the cheapest minimum initial deposit?
You are offering a great deal of help here. And I really appreciate that.
I want to ask about SBP's circular (EPD Circular # 3, 27 Feb 2013) in which it says " It is reiterated that personal foreign currency accounts of any nature should not be used for commercial and business purposes."
Which means you cannot transfer funds to any broker around the world. And currently I am trying to remit funds to FXCM but all banks are reluctant to do so.
Can you please make me understand the situation.
Thanks again! -
Dear Abdus Samad,
Recently I have been changed my payment gateway. They sent my payment through swift wire since on 27 March, 2014 but the Bank says they did not receive credit in their Nastro Account. The Bank sent MT 103 against swift message to Issuing Bank (Wells Fargo USA). They replied with a full transaction detail including corresponding Bank. So now when I inquired with my Bank (Meezan Bank) they told me that they just send a cover message not a credit in our Nastro Account. Once the funds will receive so we can credit into your account….
I am very confused… So now what should I do??? How my payment can be tracked? -
Can someone offer me some advice?
I am looking to transfer a large sum of money (about 10 million PKR) from from Pakistan to the UK.The money is in my wife's account in pakistan in her PKR account and we want to transfer it to my account in the UK; can someone offer advice on what is the best way to go about this?
– I understand that to send money abroad from pakistan to UK you need a foreign currency account; that is fine, but how to I actually change the Pakistani Rupee into British Pounds? I have asked at Habib Bank and also MCB and Meezan Bank and they all offer currency accounts but none offer the facility to actually purchase Pounds from Rupees. Where is the best place to purchase foreign currency so that we can put it into the currency account, to then send it to the UK? I am based around Islamabad.
– Also would there be a problem if the sender is my wife and the receiver is me in the UK? Or should I open a currency account in my own name in pakistan to then send it to my account in the UK?
Many thanks for any advice!
Mr Kahn , the only way to change your PKR to British pound , is from a foreign exchange company. Go to their office tell them the situation and they will guide you properly. They also deal with cheques so you don't worry about taking lot of cash with you.

An up-to-date overview of free software and its makers
Projects on the Move
Free software covers such a diverse range of applications that it can be hard to find the perfect tool. In this column,we pick the best of the bunch.This month you'll learn about XFce 4.2, the PC in the PC,QBuildkde,and the latest news on the Sarge Release.
Of course it is important to organize big events like Linux World to keep Linux competitive in the desktop market, but it is far more important to organize smaller meetings of Linux user groups locally. The recent popularity of Linux user groups shows, more than anything else, that Linux is an extremely interesting proposition for home users. It also shows that there is an information gap about Linux. And that's why I would like to appeal to Linux user groups not just to think about your personal needs, but to offer practical help to anyone interested in Linux. XFce Improved If you happen to see a desktop computer with Linux nowadays, it typically has KDE or Gnome installed as the GUI. Many distributors use the former as the standard desktop. After all, KDE does make Linux more accessible to newbies, while giving power users a variety of features and applications. Some people think that the seemingly infinite depths of KDE are over the top and just make the desktop too slow. Although KDE runs on older hardware, there are far quicker alternatives for slower machines.

Cape man 'shot in the back' on street
Comment on this storyCape Town - A 20-year-old man was shot dead in a street in Voorbrug on Monday night.
A murder case has been opened after Damien "Rasta" Juries was killed in Welgelegen Street at 9pm but police are yet to make arrests.
Bystanders described Juries as a "friendly person", who was a practising Rastafarian, and not involved in gangsterism.
One witness to the shooting, who was taken away in a state of shock, apparently told members of the community two gunmen had stood up from behind a wall and shot Juries in the back as he walked past.
The suspects had fled on foot across an open field.
Although police have not established the motive for the killing, gang warfare flares up in the Voorbrug area from time to time, said local councillor Michael Toko.
"It is a war for drug turf because the area has many people who are addicted to tik," Toko said.
"There is a lot of money to be made. This is what underpins most of the murders. But I have not got details of this shooting, so it cannot be said it is definitely gang related."
Late last year, the Cape Argus reported on the rise of Cape Flats child and teenage gangsterism, highlighting Voorbrug.
Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk confirmed Voorbrug had a problem with youngsters being recruited into gangs.
"The groups identified are mostly at Voorbrug High School and they call themselves the Terrible Josters, Young Terribles, Timber Barbies and Sexy Bitches."
Anyone with information about Juries's murder can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111, Van Wyk said.

ABC News' Karen Travers and David Kerley report:
President Obama continued to strike a balance between optimism about the nation heading in the right direction and realism that the economic recovery is slow and will take time.
"We've made progress. But, let's face it, the progress hasn't been fast enough," Obama said at a town-hall style event in a Columbus, Ohio, family's backyard.
Obama reiterated that his administration is trying to create a cycle where Americans begin to feel better about the economy.
"We're not going to get all 8 million jobs that were lost back overnight. It's going to take some time," he said. "And a lot of it's sort of like recovering from an illness. You get a little bit stronger each day and you take a few more steps each day. And that's where our economy's at right now.
Obama came to this middle-class, Democratic-leaning neighborhood in Columbus to talk about the economy and take questions. Ohio natives Rhonda and Joe Weithman welcomed the president into their home, sitting down at their kitchen table for a brief chat about their experiences in the economic downturn and their backyard for remarks and a question and answer session with their friends and neighbors.
Weithman and a business partner own a small architecture firm that saw a decline in business when the economic worsened. His wife Rhonda lost her job in 2009 but was able to keep her health insurance due to COBRA subsidies from the Recovery Act. The family said this was necessary because the family was under her insurance at that time and their 11-year-old son, Josh has a pre-existing condition.
The White House said that the Weithmans invited their friends and neighbors to participate in the town hall event and that they did no prior screening of the audience.
Obama also got in a few acknowledgments of the local rabid fan-base of The Ohio State University.
Obama asked one well-built, middle-aged man in the audience if he played football for the Buckeyes. The man politely told the president that he actually played on a national championship football team at Eastern Kentucky University.
"You look like you could — we could put you on the line right now," the president said.
"Oh, that's what they all say," the Ohio man said to laughter from the small crowd in the Weithman's backyard.
After concluding his remarks, Obama said that the Weithman family made him the "O" in the spelling out of O-H-I-O, a tradition among die-hard Ohio State Buckeyes fans. He said this was caught on camera – not by the White House press corps, but the White House official photographer.

The playstation 2 games were hugely successful and ratchet and clank swiftly became one of the most popular action platformers around.

Size Matters tries too hard to be like it's big brother. 0
A lot of the time when a major console game makes the transition to a handheld it often turns out as a completely different game or it takes place as a side story or a spin-off. This is apparent with games such as Vice City Stories and the Metal Gear Acid games. But this isn't the case with Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. In fact it's almost the exact same as the console versions. It's a direct sequel to Deadlocked and picks the story up from there. Ratchet and Clank are on vacation and a littl...

Good gameplay but too short!!! 0
Yes size matters and in this game, the developers didn't think it mattered enough. You can brush through the game in about 5 hours and it could take you 15 hours to find all of the secrets. I was disappointed when i found out the length of the game . It is a good game which incorporates good gameplay, a storyline and humor. The other con to this game though is that it is incredibly easy. But a plus for this game is that it has Infrastructure mode (online play) which is a plus, but you wont spend...

Size matters is a fun, bite-sized version of R&C. 0
I've always like ratchet and clank, sadly this is the only one i've had the chance to play from start to finish. But i can say with great confidence that this is a great portable version of R&C. In fact this is just a great portable game even without Isomniac behind it. Like all the games in the series you'll go through about a dozen differen't planets, shooting and smashing your way through various robot foes. And as always, collecting bolts to buy new weapons. And this is where the game h...

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters Review The Ratchet and Clank series has been around for 8 years now. Insomniac really haven't done much to change the (for the most part) winning formula that is the Ratchet and Clanks experience. Every game has always managed to create a very fun and challenging experience filled with great characters, outrageous weapons and original gadgets. The pinnacle of the series for me was RAC2, this expanded on the weapons, added the awesome space combat sections and ha...

Ratchet & Clank's first venture to the PSP is rather hit or miss. 0
Ratchet & Clank's first venture to the PSP isn't quite the enjoyable experience of it's console counterparts. Not to say that this game is bad, but it plays more like a waterer down version of the PS2 Ratchet & Clank games. The campaign is short, the controls are poorly implemented on the PSP, and camera is insanely bad, On the postive side however, it still maintains the spirit of it's console counterparts, with a lighthearted, humorous story, fun minigames, and upgradable weapons.

"This is so good! Best home made apple sauce I have ever had!"
"This was the best pot roast I have ever made! I did get a low sodium brown gravy mix, but did everything else exactly as the recipe read. Added some new potatoes, carrots and pearl onions. Was thinking I would have left-overs, but it disappeared! Will definitely make this again and again!"
"Made this last night and it was excellant! Precooked the eggplant slices on the grill, 5 min per side. I did find a really good sauce to use with no added sugar and low sodium (360/half cup). Also used part skim mozzarella. Added pepperoni to half for my husband. Smelled incredible! Will definately be making again."

Hi. We live in the beautiful Chagrin Valley area. We have 5 grown children, all on their own. We also have 3 little grandchildren that we adore.
I love cookbooks and really enjoy reading them. I like to try new recipes and my husband is willing to try anything I make. We then decide what should be "a keeper".

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - The parent involvement theme schools, scheduled to open for the 2009-10 school year in the current Fairview Elementary and Clements Middle school buildings, now have some more rules.
During Tuesday's work session, the Newton County Board of Education approved a recommendation from Superintendent Steven Whatley for a uniform policy and parental contract for the theme schools. According to the uniform requirements presented at the meeting, students attending the theme schools must wear short- or long-sleeved polo shirts or long-sleeved turtlenecks that are solid navy, red or white in color. Sweaters and sweatshirts must be solid navy. Their pants, shorts, skirts, skorts or jumpers must be solid tan khaki with a pleated or flat front. No cargo style, denim or spandex is allowed, and all bottoms must fit at the waist and be no shorter than fingertip length. Only solid navy or white socks and tights are allowed, and shoes must be clean white, black or brown athletic type or black or brown closed-toe type. No sandals, open-toed shoes, open-backed shoes, flip-flop sandals, skate shoes, combat boots, Uggs, work boots, above-the-calf boots or boots with a greater than one-inch heel are permitted. Belts must be black or brown and must be worn if a bottom has belt loops for students in fourth through eighth grades, and no headwear such as headscarves, hats, bandannas or head wraps are allowed except for religious or medical reasons with approval from the school administration. The theme schools would be the sixth and seventh schools in NCSS to adopt a uniform policy. In the past, Ficquett, Heard-Mixon, Middle Ridge and Porterdale elementary schools and Sharp Learning Center have adopted uniform policies for their students. In addition to the uniform policy, the school board also approved the theme schools' parental commitment contract for the 2009-10 school year. The contract that parents or guardians must sign requires them to commit to 10 volunteer hours per semester per household and attend a minimum of one in-school parent/teacher conference, as well as any other required parent meetings, each semester to discuss the student's progress, according to the contract that was presented at the board meeting. It also requires parents to make sure their students read a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes each day at home. Parents also must support the school council, strictly enforce the uniform policy and the school's conduct codes and policies, ensure their student's timeliness and attendance at school and support daily classwork, homework and project requirements. Parents also must monitor and enforce the use of the student agenda by the student, parent and teacher. According to the contract, failure to follow it would terminate a student's right to attend the theme school. Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com like this story

Is Santorum's "Google Problem" a Google Problem?
Unfortunately, You Can't Remove It. (775 comments)
The only way to derank the results it is to drown it out. It is very unfortunate that they did this to his "name", rather than just news about him.
He can reverse this. I remember when Apple's lack of Flash support was in the news, and Apple successfully drowned out much of the negative press by including dense concentrations of the word "Flash" (referring to the camera) in their press releases. They successfully made searches for "iphone flash" show links to their pages rather than to blogs complaining about the iphone not having Flash.
I personally feel that search engine manipulation is a problem, and while I commend Google's position on their neutrality - I feel some precedence should be given when it involves peoples names. If you have a unique name and somebody blogs bad things about you, you are stuck with those results *for life* every time someone Google's you.
Because of Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order, limiting such an option to only those in power, or those who can afford a decent lawyer. It's evil.

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible SE 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I consider this car a lesson learned in poor decisions.
I purchased this car new in 2008 and have had numerous problems.
So many in fact I'm not sure I can list much less remember them all.
I will make this short (as possible) and sweet(as possible).
The passenger side window motor stopped working, the radio buttons stick, the console top has broken twice, the compressor is barely working therefore I have almost zero air conditioning and the transmission is failing.
Not to mention the car has an odd odor that I cannot get rid of.
A light continually stays on that I was told needed a computer upgrade but the dealership never seemed to have the "disc".
Too many problems to list.

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible SE PZEV 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I bought this car for my wife and after buying an 07 Passat and being extremely satisfied with that car I figured Id be just as pleased with the bug. Was I in for a shock I've owned convs in the past so I was away of frame/body flex but this car takes it to new extremes. The handling sucks, power is poor and comfort is great for the driver and front passenger, and my small 3 year just about fits in the back seat. Now there is a rattle in the front end somewhere and the thing is noisy on the highway. For the money they charge these cars should be much more powerful and handle better. I'm not sure how the fit and finish will stand up over the next few years, but I'm not confident

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible SE 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
Bought a beautiful black with cream interior SE model a few weeks ago. Purchased this mainly for my daughters to drive, although I have to admit the old man likes it too! Haven't had a VW for a number of years, but they were always a fun car to drive, and this convertible is no exception. The SE comes with a power top, so makes it much easier for raising and lowering the roof. The car has plenty of pep and the Tiptronic 6 speed manual / automatic transmission is a pleasure. I also like being able to set it to "sport mode", where the transmission holds the shift pattern to higher RPM setting. Good handling as a touring vehicle and sure stopping brakes. Great little car!

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible S 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
This is a fun, stylish car that is a "blast from the past"! It has the classic Beetle lines with the luxury of a Mercedes. This car is fun to drive, inexpensive to operate - I have been getting 33 - 35 MPG - but the AC kills the mileage - down to about 24 MPG with the AC running). It has lots of "get up and go" with acceleration onto highways rapid and sure. Interior space is great - I am 6'1" and fit quite comfortably in the back seat. I had two Mazda MX-5s prior to this VW and the VW wins hands down - for value, for comfort, with comparable handling and VERY much better when the roads are slippery. This is a delightful car - My wife liked it so much, she bought one for herself!

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible SE 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I gave my 2004 Toyota Camry to my son and I purchased a Red Beetle with a Black top. I have owned my car for two months and I just love it. I shopped around for a convertible car that is fun to drive. The New Beetle is perfect. The gas mileage is not as good but is so much more fun to drive. My husband is a large guy over six feet tall. He has enough room in this car but back seats are for small children. He was not sure about a small car but he fell in love with it too. When I was sixteen my Dad had one of the old beetles they have made alot of improvements. Great job VW. People stop me all the time and tell me how much they like my car.

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible SE PZEV 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I traded a 2004 VW Touareg for this conv. I love my new Beetle. I got the triple black model. It gets attention everywhere I go. The 150 HP engine has enough juice to move. It would be nice if they had a turbo. Maybe they will come out with a sport model. I miss all the comfort features that the Touareg had. Power seats and lumbar would be nice. Also a nav system. I ride hard all the time so fuel economy is not the best. No this car is lots of fun to drive. It beats my Touareg in that department. Having a rag top is awesome. That is the main reason why I got my new convertible. It needs some nicer wheels. I'll be investing in some chrome wheels soon to bring out the bold looks on this bug!

"This was excellent, instead of breadcrumbs I used crumbled up garlic and butter flavored croutons and it was excellent! Better then the old shake-n-bake I've been using!!"

Husband said it reminded him of his grandmothers recipe...very big hit with the family, i'll definelty be making this again!! Only thing I did differently was I didn't use garlic or cayenne pepper."
"Good way to get rid of leftovers, I was in a hurry and didn't cook my pie crust long enough alone before putting the rest of the ingrediants in and it never cooked, even thought I left it in the oven for about 45-50 minutes..so a litlte advice, make sure to pre-cook the pie crust like it says to do."
"This was a pretty good way to cook pork chops, they were very tender which i have a really hard time to cook pork chops without drying them out completley! I used cream of chicken instead since no one in the house likes mushrooms and it was still tasty."

Hi all I just moved to Houston from NYC! My mom lives in Trinidad and loves desert roses and COT. I finally have the weather to grow these they remind me of Home. Can anyone link me to local places around Houston to purchase them. Any advise about Houston weather. I would love any feedback! Thanks so much.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome to Houston. Marie can help you the most as she's got quite the collection. I recently saw some at Home Depot but they were not in bloom so no way to tell what color. Probably typical pink. Mine pink is still in bloom right now but it's almost done. I recently got a couple of nice ones from my sister. A double blood red with darker red edges and a triple rich red with black edges. I think the double is about to bloom as it's putting out buds but I have to pamper it with the temperature drops. I leave mine outside on the porch unless the temps drop below about 45ish. Our weather is usually fairly warm by winter standards but sometimes we get a good hard freeze. Kirk |
Debbie, welcome to Houston. I will help you next spring since it is late into the year already. Houston has good weather for your COT and DR. You can go crazy like me.....first you need a big backyard (which I don't have) and soon you can't stop buying like me. Marie |
